Inspection

The Inspection A home inspection is an impartial, descriptive, and professional visual examination of the readily accessilble systems and components located in the home. The apparent conditions found in the home are those listed "At the time of the inspection". Home buyers now entering the marketplace view an inspection as a great way to obtain valuable information about the biggest purchase of their lifetime. It helps them to determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies prior to the time of purchase or sale. In most cases, home inspections are performed after an offer to purchase has been accepted by the seller and pending a satisfactory home inspection. The inspection can usually be arranged immediately to within a few days. The home buyer is typically encouraged to attend the inspection, so that they can see first hand the workings of the home. It also represents an excellent opportunity for the prospective buyer to ask questions about the home or to discuss potential changes. "Looking out for YOUR best interest" That is our motto at Eagle Eye Home Inspection Services, LLC. A home inspection should also highlight the positive aspects of a home. In fact, many of the home inspector's observations or recommendations help to dispel home purchaser anxieties. The home inspector's service to the purchaser is primarily one of education. The goal of the inspector is to provide the purchaser with a better understanding of the physical condition of the home in order that they can make a well-informed decision. It is also the inspector's role to keep his findings in perspective for the buyer. After the inspection is completed, a hand delivered or e-mailed, computer generated report is given to the home buyer documenting the results of the inspection. The home inspection should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal code inspection, an environmental audit, or a home owner's warranty. A complete home inspection should cover all of the major systems of a house, including structure, exterior, roofing, electrical, heating, cooling, insulation, plumbing and interior. As a minimum, an inspection should meet the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors® (ASHI®). Consumers should be very careful when shopping for a home inspector. The industry as a whole is unregulated and many unqualified people offer home inspection services. Home inspection companies that offer to do repair work, or recommend repair companies, should be avoided.
